New Orleans Saints star receiver Michael Thomas went on a Twitter rant on Sunday during the team’s loss to the Detroit Lions. Thomas posted cryptic and mysterious tweets regarding the issues the Saints offense was having and even started taking shots at quarterback Derek Carr. He later disabled his account after putting out all of the seemingly hateful messages, but that did not stop fans and analysts from speculating what this could have meant.

Shots Fired At The New Orleans Saints
Thomas has not been playing for the last couple of weeks due to an injury. The star receiver took to Twitter during the Saints’ matchup against the Lions on Sunday to express his frustrations with the team’s struggles on offense. Many NFL fans believe that he wants Jameis Winston to be the starting quarterback after Carr went out with an injury, and some are also saying that he does not want to be in New Orleans anymore as he has run into similar situations with the team before.

Michael Thomas’ Issues
New Orleans ended up losing to Detroit by a score of 33-28, hurting their chances of clinching a spot in the postseason as the regular season begins to come to an end. While these struggles are evident to everyone, these posts seemed a little too harsh, especially from a star player on the team. Many think that Thomas might be having some mental troubles which caused him to tweet out these messages, which is fair to say since he has made headlines this year for all of the wrong reasons.
Earlier in the season, Thomas was arrested for assaulting a contractor and throwing bricks at his truck, and also took the man’s cell phone and threw it when he was trying to record the incident. It seems safe to say that the star receiver has been having some issues on and off of the football field, which has led to a growing concern amongst Saints fans. We will see if these posts mean anything more significant later on, but for now, all we can do is speculate.
